Could anybody suggest a simple first time approach to creating and experimenting with breakbeats like that of the Prodigy and Crystal Method? What are the common techniques and effects used?

Get a busy loop, cut off the first beat so it starts on the snare

cut a cool loop to pieces, and create a new beat with
that - everybody seems to be doing it...

Recipe for a drum 'n' bass break :

1) Take either the "Amen" or the "Apache" drum-loops.

2) Pitch up.

3) Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 180 C.

4) Sweeten with a sub-bass strong enough to break windows.

5) Serve when ready.

later...

1. the CUT-loop method:
process loop with ReCycle - it will cut it into individual hits, then mees-up.

2. use just a drum machine or a synth - program snare and kick hits on non-strong beats (just try to copy from like Prodigy records).
And use strong compression on drums ;)

3. cool drumloops at 113 beats

Luck!
